A motorcyclist died Sunday in an early morning hit-and-run on Interstate 10.

A black Dodge Challenger was speeding in the westbound lanes of the East Freeway about 12:40 a.m., according to the Houston Police Department. Near the Uvalde exit, the car struck the back of a white Suzuki motorcycle and continued driving.

The 21-year-old man on the motorcycle was declared dead at the scene.

Authorities found the Challenger abandoned farther down the interstate.

HPD spokesman Victor Senties encourages anyone with information about the incident, the Challenger or the identity of its driver to call the Hit and Run Unit at (713) 247-4065.
